AMC Alliance: The Car with an Appropriate Name

In the 1980s, cars were going through an identity crisis. It may not have been evident during the time; but looking back, it is obvious that car makers were unsure of what consumers really wanted. Many of the cars were ugly to look at and were disappointing to drive. Chevy seemed to have many of the clunkers of the day, from the Chevy Cavalier, Chevette, and Citation, but other car makers had their own fair share.

Subcompact Car with Impressive Features

As car makers were recovering from the fuel and energy issues from the 1970s and from the long gas guzzlers that dominated the previous decade, one car maker did create a pleasant car that set the stage for many more to come. Surprisingly, that car was the AMC Alliance. The car technically was a Renault and AMC Alliance, because it was created with the French automaker. While it was a bit boxy, the car used very little fuel and it was enjoyable to drive. The AMC Alliance actually became a car of the year because it was a breath of fresh air.

The name that Renault and AMC chose was very fitting. An “alliance” is a union created for the benefit of two organizations or groups. Since the car was developed by two car companies from different countries, it was created in an alliance. The driver and car also worked together as an “alliance” as the car was enjoyable to drive
